There was something in the room with her. Look, Lois might not have been in the whole superhero-vigilante business herself but she knew when someone was lurking behind her and when someone was watching her. And from the prickles on the back of her neck, someone or something was watching her. Something behind her, okay Lane you can handle this.

Homicidal toys brought to life on Halloween to menace innocent citizens? Sounds like a job for Batgirl. She and Robin have been patrolling the island throughout the day, and things definitely got easier once she got herself properly armed. You can only do so much with the sharp edge of a batarang when you have to dismember your fluffy opponents to stop them.

Stephanie shifts the knives in her hands as she nears the suspicious sound's source. Creeping into the clearing with hereyes peeled for creepy murderous dolls, she moves forward. A twig crackles to her left and she whirls.

And then: "...Lois?"

Okay, being a pretend superhero slash vigilante was all well and good in the urban city but out here on a tropical island wearing stiletto heels, Lois was starting to rethink her costume choice for Halloween. True, it would send Clark's eyebrows sky high but it wasn't the most practical choice. And the cape? The cape had to go. How did people work with a cape?

Lois froze as her foot stepped on a twig and sighed, twirling around when she heard movement to her right.

"Geez scare a girl half to death, why don't you Steph? I thought you were the cookie monster coming back for seconds." Lois said, putting a hand on her hip. "Yeah, no it's Stiletto. Seems like my superhero costume choice was pretty apt today, huh?"

[teambatgirl]

"Seriously." She looks Lois up and down to get the full effect. It's definitely...tight. And shiny. Lois works it, no doubt, but it's still basically hilarious. Steph grins at her. "I like it. Putting those boots to good use I see. Definitely fit with the name."

She opens her mouth to say something else, and that's when cookie monster strikes back. It drops from the trees with something resembling a murderous growl, and latches onto her hair.

There are suddenly improbably sharp teeth trying to gnaw at her neck.

"Hey you I thought I put you in time out." Lois said annoyed as the cookie monster dropped onto Steph. Her fight or flight responses kicking in and Lois, Lois had never been one to run scared from a physical confrontation. Emotional ones? Oh yeah but that was a whole different ball game. "Need a hand?"

Lois grabs one of the hands latched on Steph's hair.

Loki watched the scene from a little ways away, unimpressed by both the woman and the threat she was facing. He'd seen Sif wear more practical clothing than that while fighting and he was certain he and Thor had faced creatures far more terrifying than the blue one before him. The main challenge was trying not to laugh.

"I'm afraid it probably doesn't care what your name is today."

"Oh, yeah Twilight Sparkle? Maybe names are exactly what it cares about today," Lois said struggling to grab the thing without being bitten. He might not appreciate the get up but right now her costume was actually surprisingly helpful seeing as its teeth wasn't managing to get through. Grabbing the thing by its neck, Lois held it down before taking out her knife. "Might wanna check your six there."

Lois gestured to the crazed looking care bear behind him.

While he may not have looked particularly imposing next to Thor, Loki was more than capable of taking care of himself. Even without conventional weapons he was far from helpless and barely turned, waiting until the toy was right behind him, then sent it flying back with a flick of the tree branch he was using as a makeshift staff.

"Twilight Sparkle?"

"If the hair fits," Lois replied with a smile at the man as she took care of the cookie monster, dismembering it whilst trying to avoid its teeth. Okay, not her best nickname but really kind of busy and the more annoyed tall, dark and outraged seemed well, the more likely it was to stick with her. "Oh yeah, really took care of that. You know they don't get knocked out, right? They just tend to come back. Nice moves though."
